    So how many of you have dabbled in this? I've been doing it 4-5 times a week for a fair while now and my fitness has sky rocketed.

    We had Ian Free-man ( British Light Heavyweight champion, 6 times UFC veteran,pancrase champion etc) come down the gym the other night for a few hours taught us bloody loads was a cracking night.

    So can use this thread for anything MMA/martial arts related advice, problems, training tips etc :?
    :twisted:

    Aye my bad just noted and edited. I seem to remember you saying in a thread you was fighting for the para reg in something, is boxing the only combat sport the forces does?

    Yeah i was headlining a show in Catterick at the weekend against an opponent from the Warsaw MMA Club which i won by GnP in Rd 2.

    Boxing and Judo are the 2 biggest combat sports the Army does.

    It does have a very small kendo club as it was mentioned in Soldier a while ago, but I can't seem to find anything about it though.

    I saw Ian Free-man in 2006 against Melvin Manhoef, whilst cheering on an old friend. Pleased to say that the guy I was there to support lasted longer than Free-man!

    I dabbled in kickboxing and BJJ briefly but moved on to orthodox Japanese martial arts afterwards.

    Ian F is fighting at CageRage in Birmingham in May. Chuck Liddell fighting in London on June 7th so its a good time to be a MMA fan in the UK.

    Question - Who would win between Fedor and Couture?

    I reckon Fedor would win. Absolutely awesome fighter

    I practise BJJ, Kickboxing and Kali. I don't compete in MMA, because I can't get enough training sessions in to prepare for competition. but I respect those who do step into the Cage. A very tough sport.

    If and when I re-enlist I would like to start boxing. Completely new to it all. Would I be thrown in at the deep end?
